What is recorded here

Located in a fairly level landscape. A small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 9m) defined by two concentric fosses and outer banks (max. ext. diam. 25m). It is faintly visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME049-020
